Morphological Notes	Noun common feminine singular absolute (מֶחֱצָה) with prefixed definite article הַ; derived from the verbal root חצה (“to divide”).
Rendering Rationale	The noun derives from the root חצה (“to divide, halve”) and denotes something produced by splitting. Rendering it as “the halved-portion” preserves the verbal sense of division inherent in the root while reflecting the definite article and feminine singular form indicated by the morphology.
